Qry based on Weekdays

Question

Hello experts,
I work in T-SQL and Microsoft tools but currently am building a report that runs of an Oracle dB..hence having certain problems converting T-SQL format into Oracle.
Pls help me out.
I have a reporting requirement that needs to run between Monday to Friday.
IF sysdate is between monday to thursday THEN
Volume of PreWork = count of orders
where
[Created_Date] < sysdate AND [Ship_Date] = nextday
IF sysdate is Friday THEN
Volume of PreWork = count of orders
where
[Created_Date] < sysdate AND ([Ship_Date] > sysdate and [Ship_Date] <= monday) (i.e. sat, sun & mon)
Am a bit confused with the CASE statements...Pls help !

Hi Centinul,
Your qry definitely meets my requirement but I would be running this report using Microsoft reporting services hence is there any way I can amend it to run as a Query and not a procedure or package.
Also when I run the qry you supplied, I am getting counts against both IF and ELSE IF statement...I assume basically I should get a count against IF statement as its weekday '1' today....pls correct my understanding.
New query is (I have also changed the date format because earlier it did not return any result)
IF TO_NUMBER(TO_CHAR(SYSDATE,'D')) BETWEEN 1 AND 4 THEN
SELECT
          count(SALES_ORDER_HEADER.SOH_ORDER_NO) as COUNT_ORDERS
          FROM
          COM.SALES_ORDER_HEADER SALES_ORDER_HEADER
          WHERE
          SALES_ORDER_HEADER.SOH_CLASS = 'CB'
          AND to_char(SOH_DATE_CREATED,'dd/mm/yyyy') < to_char(sysdate,'dd/mm/yyyy')
          AND to_char(SOH_DATE_SHIP,'dd/mm/yyyy') = to_char(sysdate+1,'dd/mm/yyyy');
ELSE IF TO_NUMBER(TO_CHAR(SYSDATE,'D')) = 5 THEN
          SELECT
          count(SALES_ORDER_HEADER.SOH_ORDER_NO) as COUNT_ORDERS
          FROM
          COM.SALES_ORDER_HEADER SALES_ORDER_HEADER
          WHERE
          SALES_ORDER_HEADER.SOH_CLASS = 'CB'
          AND to_char(SOH_DATE_CREATED,'dd/mm/yyyy') < to_char(sysdate,'dd/mm/yyyy')
AND SOH_DATE_SHIP BETWEEN TRUNC(SYSDATE) AND TRUNC(NEXT_DAY(SYSDATE,'MONDAY'));
